I was so surprised to see this family of raccoons with a mom and 5 little ones foraging about on the salt marsh early one morning. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I had never seen raccoons on the salt marsh before. I watched them for a while; it was quite fascinating. Have you ever seen raccoons on the salt marsh?
The Milkweed is blooming and everywhere at Fort Hill but where are the Monarch butterflies? I was so excited to see two of them a few weeks ago, but haveĀ not seen any since. Hmmm…. Where did they go? (Click on blog link for other photos.)
Does anyone have any idea why there aren’t any Monarchs at Fort Hill?
Look at all of the Milkweed growing all through the fields at Fort Hill!
We hadn’t seen a Brown Thrasher in our yard for quite some time, so it was a big treat when this guy showed up the other day. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
Look at those gorgeous yellow eyes!
I loved this last photo as he was foraging the leaves and wood chips with his curved bill looking for food. Have you ever seen a Brown Thrasher?
